Description
Given the passing of time and finally having GOOD shots of the new Godzilla, it was time to update one of my favorite old pics. That, and in the interest of fairness give Zilla a chance for some snarky comebacks
It's all for fun, folks, please don't freak out and start a flame war.Accepting Commissions! kaijukid.deviantart.com/journa…

FINALLY somebody acknowledge the Zilla series! This is nice, I wish they would continue the series , it was really good.

It was the best guys like me could ask for back in 1998 when the Toho series of films had stopped at Destroyah and we were still hungry for more kaiju-on-kaiju action, and I appreciated everything about it that the 1998 film lacked, especially the nice nods like the Mechani-Kong episode with the female pilot named "Ifukube". It was leaps and bounds more satisfying as a life long Godzilla fan than GINO had been, so I fell in love with it and am SO glad they finally released it this year on complete DVD sets.

Yeah, I just wish that they didn't have to kill off komdodithrax and the egg, Zilla's girlfriend surrogate child. And speaking of that episode, "poor nick"....POOOR NIIICK?!?! WHAT ABOUT POOR ZILLA HE WAS HE ONE WHO LOST HIS ONLY CHANCE OF HAPPINESS!!! How insensitive can they get?! P.s. I would also love it if they made a new Godzilla series with all the TOHO MONSTERS, including the Zilla series.

Haha! So true. The cartoon series was definitely good. Still, the new movie was great!

There might be one for the new movie.

Nice! Though some fans think of Zilla as a remake of the Rhedosaurus from The Beast of 20000 Fathoms, I see his film as it's own movie that I don't mind and the cartoon that followed was true to Godzilla's character. Heck, if I ever got to meet Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, I'd asked if there was anything else they'd done with the cartoon series if it continued.
All in all, I care about Zilla as much as I do Godzilla himself.

Good point about the Beast of 20000 Fathoms. Did you know that the movie was where the inspiration of the original Godzilla came from?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I belive it was both the Beast from 20000 Fathoms and King Kong. But here's one thing that puzzles me to no end: how the G-Fans who hate Zilla compare to the Rhedosaurus.
While it's not hard to see the resemblance their films have, I'd would think people who hate comparing him to Godzilla would be against comparing him to his inspiration but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Doh! How could I forget King Kong! And I call myself a Ray Harryhausen fan! Shame on me. 
I don't know why the hate on Zilla (I still call him the American Godzilla) but I guess it is a "popular thing" to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't worry, it happens to anyone. As for the Zilla hatred, let's just say fans of any fictional don't like changes that stray too far from the original source.

But....but... what about creative thinking? Or are too many people following "Don't Hug me I'm scared" video?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good point on creative thinking but some people are too used to what they already know about characters to see changes that take them from what they are known for.

I'm gonna say it. Godzilla from 1998 was a great movie. Definitely in my top 30 movies of all time.

I found the design to be unique and interesting. I just wish they had him breathe radioactive fire and swim away at the end.

Thanks to Roland E, he was ruined the movie! Especially with that King-Kong slowly dying away heartbeats. That was what gave the final blow that movie.... Still way better than the 2014 one...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually like the 2014 version. Very dark in some areas but the ending battle... was EPIC! Especially the "kiss of death". I hated the dying heartbeats

Me too, but at least they had the fire thing...Sorta.

I'm glad i am not the only one who knows of the Animated series of godzilla.

If it helps, a lot of my friends (age range early 20s to early 30s) know of it pretty well and like it. In fact, they like the 1998 version as well (that and they don't complain about a lot of things)

Yeah, we are pretty laid back and easy going.

Yep! No use getting high strung. So you are in the same age range then? 90s kid?

Yep, Born early 1992.

And you'll never hear me berate you for it, I can't stand fanboys that do. It's a chip on the shoulder that has no need to get hung out over, it's just a sci fi monster movie for pity's sake. It may be a lousy GODZILLA movie, but it's still an enjoyable flick with fun action and still pretty decent special effects after 16 years.

I saw it as a breath of fresh air. It was a slightly more realistic rendition of Godzilla. No nuclear power house, just a mutated Iguana looking to lay it's eggs. True my nostalgic inner child still prefers the original movies as well as the most recent movie but i still loved 'Zilla. People are too busy complaining about what 1998 Godzilla wasn't instead of what it was.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
It was a marine Iguana and Marine Iguanas for one thing are not in French Polynesia! The larger females lay up to 5 eggs, they are not asexual and they defend with their tale not their mouth
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was also mutated. So much of that could have been changed.

Yes radiation can make something asexual (Sarcasm)

Little thing called "imagination"
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah, like how radiation can effect the genetic structure of organisms, and how mutated genes can cause humans to be born with both male and female genitalia.

True, and I completely agree with you. A more realistic 'Zilla was a really interesting plot, and the acting in it was... ok, I guess. It wasn't bad, to say the least.
However, this was still a Godzilla movie, so unfortunately no one actually cared that there was some depth, because all they wanted was Godzilla. They got him, alright, but not the way they wanted him.
This may help in your plight, as it shows the literal counterargument: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…

Exactly, people rage against it because they refuse to understand it. Taking at face value(for lack of a better word) the only argument you get most of the time is; "It's stupid, that wasn't Godzilla." No matter how you try to explain they refuse to even listen. I don't care if people don't like movies I loved (hell I hated The Dark Knight) my problem is how they bitch and moan without listening to reason.
Oh well, that's the generation we live in.

I agree, its an alright movie. But its not what it claimed to be.
It's like, you go in to see a pokemon movie, and what you get instead is a movie of some kid going out and collecting actual animals (dogs, cats, lizards, etc; ), that could be a great movie but for fucks sake its no pokemon. That's where the fanboys are coming from, and I completely understand it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's all Pokemon is, really. In the Pokemon universe, the Pokemon are just animals(with real life animal counter parts). Growlith is a dog, Meowth is a cat, Charmander is a lizard. Sure they breath fire, electricity, and water, but really they are just animals.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know, that's why I used that example. All Godzilla is is a giant reptile really, and Zilla filled that role alright, but he wasn't Godzilla, just like my American Bulldog isn't Growlith.

Still, it's no excuse for fanboys to freak out about it.
